PlayerAuctions account suspension, without refund of denied purchase

I recently tried to purchase items for a video game I play, I have done this many times but this recent time, after I payed for my items, my account was suspended for "Being linked to multiple accounts" so I am unable to access my account to cancel the order. I have yet to receive my money back.

PlayerAuctions have not been paid

I have sold two accounts on player auctions for over $130 usd, and they have failed to pay me. I have contacted customer support over 10 different times through email to change my disbursement email to my correct paypal, and they have told me they were going to do so. It has been over a week, and I have not yet heard from customer service, nor has my paypal disbursement email been changed. I have not received money, and feel as if I am being scammed.

PlayerAuctions incompetent and inefficient

Ordered from PlayerAuctions and really disappointed. Their mailing system which is apparently a critical part on the website is not functioning. No clear announcement on any social media pages, and yet they are allowing people to continue to buy/sell products/services when nothing can be processed. No real estimate given on when the website will actually be fully functional. Even with the nature of this business, I assumed they would be a little more professional about this ordeal and mediate the whole situation better. Makes me question whether their insurance and other policies hold up to what they advertise.

Would approach website with caution. If the middle-man (PlayerAuctions in this case) cannot appropriately resolve problems in a timely manner, one must consider whether it's truly safe. Poor communication and resolution has led me to leave this negative review.

I'd like to add that I felt like the customer representative assumed that they could impose some general message as a form of 'empathy' when all I could feel was apathy and a simple copy-paste message, or just a generalized message that is probably generated for situations they're experiencing. 24/7 Live Support is not really supported, if their live-chat service is offline (almost all afternoon until 10 PM). They use a support ticket system, that takes longer than 12+ hours, and will only give the most unsatisfying and generalized responses. Makes one wonder if they actually read and contemplate the problems their customers are having.

As a first-time customer with PlayerAuctions, I can honestly say that it was a terrible experience. PlayerAuctions refuses to accommodate for inconveniencing their customer(s), and simply asks them to wait for an indefinite amount of time, which they won't disclose.

One proof of their inefficient work ethic: Their mailing system, which is according to them, a central component to their entire website (won't let you sign up, change passwords, receive any e-mails back, basically everything), was down the whole entire day, and is still down (Second day, possibly longer). No ETA as to how long it will take to fix their problems, and no announcements/notices/alerts from PlayerAuctions to members, both buyers and sellers, and simply hopes that everyone will be okay with a 24+ hour processing time.

When the website PlayerAuctions claims to complete processing of verification of payment within 24 hours, one would assume that within 24 hours it would be complete. However, it has taken longer, and the company refuses to do anything about it other than apologize. Truly disappointing.

PlayerAuctions scam

I will start off by saying I have done a few thousand USD in transactions on Player Auctions and they went smooth. It was on my most recent transaction where I ran into serious issues. I sold a World of Warcraft account for the $150-200 range and was to receive payment in the $100-150 range. The payment was never disbursed to my account.

I have sent player auctions several emails as well as contacted their chat twice. The first time I contacted their chat I was told I had to send an email to them about the issue. I contacted the chat 3 days later to follow up on my email. The chat rep said my email is in the wrong format and I had to send another email using their format (I was never told of a format by the first rep). I sent an email again this time using their specific format.

Once again I received no response to my email. I contacted their chat reps a third time and informed them I would have to recall the account if they do not pay me. The chat rep told to me to hold on... 15 minutes went by with no response. The rep came back and said I would have to call Paypal to fix the problem. I had already talked to paypal and they do NOT have any money from this company going to me. I informed the chat rep of this and they disconnected the chat session.

It has now been almost 2 weeks since my account sale and I have not received payment or any response to my emails. This is obviously an attempt to run off with my money at this point.

PlayerAuctions refusing to release fund to seller

playerauctions.com

They have the worse customer service, I bought an account from a seller from their website they then block me because I asked another seller if they could paypal invoice me because playerauctions.com check out system did not have paypal available at the time, their website is buggy as hell they say they offer Paypal as a payment method but when you go on the check out its not available

Now the money has already been paid for the seller account, but because playerauctions.com suspended my account there is no way for the seller to receive his money because in order to do so, I have to log in my account and accept click a validation button to clear the order.

The seller thinks I have scammed him because he has yet received his money, I contacted player auction support, but they have a chinese support team who basically do not care and do not respond to the live chat, after several mails to playerauction urging them to release the funds to the seller they have ignored all the mails and kept the seller money.

If you plan to sell or buy account on this site be warned they either keep your money or suspend your account with no warning, Their customer support are non existent and do not care about your issues its like talking to robots.

Stay away from this chinese trading site they ruthlesss and will keep your money. You have been warned

PlayerAuctions refund

I was selling an account on the website. A level 90 cleric. When the buyer tried to scam me and got the account banned. I contacted PA (Playerauctions) several times to let them know what was going on. Each and every single time they just ignored me or told me whatever to get me to go away. Since the buyer got the game account banned, PA had to do this "investigation" which all they did was forward emails between me and the buyer over a month. They literally made no decision or even tried to help for over a month! So after I complained enough they decided to get me 90 dollars credit just to take the 90 dollars credit away. They took the credit away because of another order. On that order I was selling an account and then cancelled the order because it didn't have ONE item that I thought it did. A friend gave me that account so I just assumed it was all there. The buyer still wanted to buy the account and did. PA closed my account for that because they said I was selling second hand accounts. Which they allow! When listing your account for sale there is an option that says "I am not the original owner of the account" So they conveniently closed my account right after they gave me the 90 dollars credit. They said I have to pay 450 dollars to get my account back plus a 300 dollar deposit. I told them no and then they said they are going to take my 90 dollars credit away. Which they did. They said if I file a complaint on any site that they will say I was selling second hand accounts, which again, they allow. I've sold plenty of accounts on PA and I listed them all as second hand accounts because PA asks for your personal information if you say you are the original owner. I do not feel comfortable giving Koreans my ID, a bill in my name, and my SSN just to sell an account. This company is a scam fest and they should be taken down asap.

PlayerAuctions robbed me of $260

-warning!-sold a lol game account and was never paid. Money is stuck on "queued for immediate processing" for over 2 weeks. Live support keeps saying that they can't do anything. They keep telling me to contact mediation but mediation team is inexistent and never replies so money will never be released. I was robbed of 260$.

PlayerAuctions i'll never use this company ever again. terrible customer support.

I never really understood why it takes 72hours for Player Auctions to give the seller their money after selling an account with your website.

Having a long chat with, what seemed to be, someone that couldn't speak English well so I couldn't really understand the person.

So now I'm here asking why it takes Player Auctions minutes to receive a payment from the buyer and then days to give out the funds to the seller.

I'll never use Player Auctions again. They take a fee, terrible customer support, and hold onto your funds for no precise reason.

PlayerAuctions fraudulently scam! avoid giving your credit card information to them!

The company fraudulently requested my credit card number in order to verify my identity. After charging an amount to the card and having me enter that exact amount on the site, they still did not mark my identity as verified and allow me to use any payment methods other than a money order to use their services. It was advertised as saying if I went through the "identity verification", that I would be able to immediately use Paypal, credit cards, and other payment options for their services. Instead, they made the charge, verified my identity, and then kept these options locked. It is my complaint that this is fraudulent and merely a scam to get people to give them their credit card information. I have been a customer of this company for 18 months and have made several purchases with them without ever having to jump through this hoop in the past.

PlayerAuctions terrible customer support. account banned. thanks playerauctions.com for doing nothing.

Paid for an in-game item service. Playerauctions was not able to complete the order in the safe manner without getting the account banned/locked. I sent numerous emails to Tina and [protected]@playerauctions.com explaining my concern over my order. I also forwarded emails from blizzard showing them locking my account 3 times and banning it temporarily until I could prove account ownership by calling in. My account was on the verge of being permanently banned and the power level seller showed no disregard and wanted to continue with the service without considering the danger to my account. So I canceled the order and explained to the seller I would not be continuing with his service because of the activity such as account locks and banning were occurring. I sent multiple emails to support as well as to the seller explaining this and didn't get any response with the exception that he was willing to give me a 20% refund even though he was not able to deliver in safe manner. Tried many times to resolve this with playerauctions and the seller and feel that you did not uphold to our agreement. I've been well over $1000 on their service and expected much better customer service. I will no longer be using the service and will not recommend to anyone. The order was not complete and blizzard restored everything back.

PlayerAuctions poorly run company. delaying refund.

Paid $82.28 for an account. After 24 hours account information was not received. I filed for a refund. Now they are saying that it takes over 2 days to received any type of refund. I do not know if this is the new china or what. This has to be one of the most poorly ran companies I have seen so far. I have been in this type of business for years, and have never come across a company that is ran this bad. I would never do business with them ever again. How many companies out there say to you "Oh well you gave us your money but we are going to hold onto it for a few days before giving it back." If I had to rate this company. It would be a "F".

PlayerAuctions identity theft scam?

PA is demanding unaltered, color digital copies of US Driver's License, Passport or credit card billing statements to verify my transactions. I have carried out 7 transactions with no problems whatsoever. I find this type of fraud prevention to be counter productive, as it releases highly sensitive personal documents (including a picture) to unmonitored third parties. Additionally, after repeated emails to the company asking why they needed this information or if there was any alternative they failed to respond. Realistically, a simple phone call between the company and myself would have erased any concerns that they may have had regarding the validity of this transaction.

PlayerAuctions scam

Truly lazy internet company, that constantly lie to your face, and couldn't care less about your situation.

I sold a World of Warcraft account through Playerauctions.com almost a month ago now. I still have not received my money. Their customer service is a joke. I have over 7 different online chats, and every single give you the same robotic response. Not sure what country these workers are ACTUALLY in, but its quite obvious they are reading off a script. I had to change my disbursement method, from Paypal to Moneybookers. They said it could be done via email, in 24 hours. Guess what, it's been 3 weeks now. Like I said, I have several chat scripts that I copied and pasted into my own folders. Sent them over 8 emails, requesting to change the disbursement method. These guys are slime. They hold onto your money, and couldn't care less about how fast you actually receive it, if EVER.

They constantly find ways, to blame YOU for any situation. For example, there was a solid month where I couldn't even log in to the website to check the status. This was on 3 different computers, using every browser I can think of. Guess who they threw the blame on.

Every single "Online Chat" will give you the same crap, 24 hours you should get a response. Of course that never happens. Been over 3 WEEKS!

STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS. How they got an A rating on the BBB, is beyond me. Some obvious corruption there.

I just lost $187.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

PlayerAuctions is a total pile of crap. I purchased a runescape account, and was told by their highly incompetent customer support officers that insurance was provided by the seller. On top of that, after the purchase was completed, I received an e-mail that said the following:

Your game account purchase is backed by our Lifetime, 100% Game Account Security Guarantee: All game accounts purchased on PlayerAuctions are fully insured against the rare e vent that they are ever irrecoverably reclaimed or suspended due to the previous owner.

After a few weeks, Jagex locked the account as they suspected it stolen. The seller isn't responding to either me or PA so I cannot get the right info to get it back. Now, I'm being told, literally "to set your expectations, we will only be able to help you to recover the account" even though I was given guarantees. This is blatant mis-selling. I've been totally ignored by CS officers and staff. E-mails never get returned. One CS Officer actually left the conversation when I said if they can't get my account, then I demand my money back. Their advertised guarantees and `buyer protection` is a pile of ###.

I do NOT recommend using this poor excuse for a business to purchase anything, unless you're willing to lose every penny you put into it, and expect little to no care or help from their incompetent team that use automated responses and basically ignore whatever you say and just repeat the same crap over and over.

PlayerAuctions difficult to work with and refuse to comply with simple requests.

I am no longer interested in using the site playerauctions.com in which I've been a member of for years. I have asked them repeatedly to remove all my personal and billing information from their computer systems and they have refused telling me that they will only "suspend" my account and that I can "unsuspend" my account anytime in the future so that I can use their service again. I told them again I do not want my account suspended (which means they still save all my personal and billing information) and that I want it completely deleted so that I cannot log in with that account any longer and therefore having all my personal and billing information deleted. They refuse to do this and can still access all my information including billing.

PlayerAuctions scam

These people are scammers. I had my account suspended for no reason. I had bought something from their site and never gotten it and they accused me for fraud. I had to fight for few weeks and eventually got my money back. I have asked them nicely about 20 times to take the suspension off my account so I could sell my world of warcraft account. It would take them weeks to respond (unbelieveable) and at one time, I got an email saying that they have taken the suspension off but it is still suspended. I had to ask them what game they are playing. Three weeks now with no response. Avoid this web site or you will regret it.

PlayerAuctions scam report: won't pay you, so many problems. just avoid them!

My payments for playerauctions via paypal are going through, to quote paypal here is what they are saying: "Your order status is “Pending” because the merchant has received your order but hasn’t processed your payment yet. Most merchants will complete your order a few days after they receive it. Some merchants wait until they’re ready to ship your order." Thus the problem is they can not go into their paypal account and simply click Accept next to the payment and manually push the process through. Customer support does not satisfy at all. Live support is unable to help with any payment issues as they are just given access to the same information I have. eMail support is not any better as they have been telling me the same thing over and over again. Phone support does not even exist.

PlayerAuctions my review = blackmailing people, beware of their illegal practice for an american business

Received an email from [protected]@playerauctions.com stating that "As Reported by Individual member with strong enough evidences, you had been verified as member who had offsite trading behavior" After reading what offsite trading behavior is on their site, I know very well that I had not done anything of that nature. I use the site because it is secure and denying me access to the site unless I "We had suspended your PlayerAuctions account for 3 days, and fine you $150 for this. Also you need to keep a double deposit level which is $300 in our deposit account if you want to reactivate your account on PlayerAuctions. Please send your total payment $450 to our Paypal deposit account: [protected]@playerauctions.com and contact us once done, thanks." To me this is a web site trying to blackmail people for money. They are making baseless accusations and trying to profit from it. As far as I am aware that is a illegal practice for an American business

PlayerAuctions don't be the next victim of their scam!

Buyers beware... I have been a loyal customer of playerauctions for many years because I believed they operated with integrity and held their sellers and buyers to the same level of integrity. I have 100% feedback and my integrity has never come into question. I purchased an account back in January 31, 2009 for a level 80 wizard on everquest. Over the years I have paid for all the expansions and monthly memberships fees. I also had a level 96 Berserker with over 4000 alternate advancement points that I worked very hard on. All toons on the account were geared well and the berserker had a mix of group and raid gear. There was a bazaar trader that had over 2 million in plat (game currency) and items as well. I tell you all of this because after nearly 4 years of owning this account and pouring time and cash into it... the original owner took it back. One thing Playerauctions will not tell you is that if the original owner of the account wants the account back.. all they have to do is contact Sony and tell them that it was stolen. They still have all original info for account so there is no question in Sony's mind. Sony will not give any warning that the account is being taken back either. They de-guild the toons, take credit card info off of the account, change the e-mail registered to the account, and return it to the original owner. You get absolutely no info from Sony in the way of e-mails indicating account changes. What is worse is the guy is on the toons, playing the character I worked so hard on and even had the nerve to send me a private message, complaining that I moved his wizard to the FV server that he can't be transferred off of. This whole situation makes me sick, but not as sick as the e-mail I got from playerauctions. Playerauctions only suspended his playerauctions account.. not banned. And since the original owner will not respond to them they are going to contact Sony and get the account banned instead of restoring it. Even worse... Playerauctions will not replace the 175.00 that I paid for the account at the time, which seems like the right thing to do since they profitted off of the seller's deception. 175.00 is not much money at all compared to what I have invested into the account. I guess for me it is the principle of the thing. I bought the account thinking all transactions were secured by PlayerGuardian Protection, but I guess they are only secured if you buy extra insurance on the account. They say I did not purchase the additional protection so they will not reimburse me anything I spent on the account. This is bad business as there are no warnings that these accounts can be taken back by the original owner at any time, which would have kept me from taking the risk in the first place. Sorry if I sound like I am just whining, but everyone who uses this site needs to be told the truth about account purchases.in the business world, loyal customers are valued, respected, rewarded, protected, and held onto no matter the cost. And before you judge, I made several recent purchases from Playerauctions at the end of last year before all of this happened. I purchased an account and platinum totaling nearly 600.00. Now you tell me... a loyal customer with perfect feedback spending a lot of cash with your company... would you blow them off like this? I told Playerauctions as much and will see if it gets them to change their handling of this situation, but I doubt it.

PS - Please don't be the next victim, protect yourself. I do not hold Playerauctions responsible for the actions of the original owner, but I do hold them responsible for representing themselves as safe and secure when representing crooked sellers. This is why I want market credit... I want them to take responsibility for representing the seller and taking some of my money themselves out of the crooked deal.

PlayerAuctions is playerauctions.com secure?

To sell a runescape account on PA it asks you to upload a form of ID.

I was looking on the PA runescape accounts and (long story short) clicking just 1 button, was able to see the uploaded ID of the seller, I contacted 3 different members of their live support team but all 3 gave the same message, "its impossible". I gave them a printscreen of my computer and even recorded it on my phone but they just disconnect.

After about 20 attempts at it (wont disclose method but it simply involves clicking 1 button when viewing somebody else's account) I was able to see 5 uploaded ID's that contained Name, Address and other sensitive information.

Is this a big deal or not?
